such general revival of trade at
Harry b. Garner's City Pharmacy as
their giving away to their customers
of so many free trial bottles of DR..

in this very valuable article from the
fact that il always cures and never
disappoints. Coughs, Colds, Asthma,
Bronchitis, Group, and all throat and

Where the Most OF Uncle Sans Silver Doll
lars are Coined.
Says James p. Kimball, Director OF
the United States Mint: "The New
York assay Office is the largest and
most important in the United States,
and more of the precious metals arc
handled here every year than at all the
other offices combined. Last year this
Office manufactured into bars $4S,32l,-
567.74 of gold out of q total of S52, 259,-
70S.7S, and s6,6ll,375.22 of silver out
of the total of 1871, ,6SO.76. The affairs
of the Office are in perfect shape and
condition, notwithstanding the great
amount of work done here, but we
always expect to find its condition sat
isfactory, and regard it as the model
office of the country, Its business IS
systematizcd and is being done by old
and tried employees. Changes IN the
personnel of the Office are made as sell
dom as possible, and never for political
reasons. 1t is the only acid refinery
belonging to the Government, and gem
orally large quantities of metal to bo
refined are sent here from the other
offices because the facilities here arc
so much better" a
In answer to the question, why the
mother mint should have been placed
in Philadelphia insteadof In New YORK,
MIR, Kimball said: "Ihe mint was es-
tablished in Philadelphia when thatcity
was the seat OF government, and SO has
since remained there. know that there

What Industry Atrains.

Girls instilled with habits of indus
try are more safely provided for than
if they had had fortune given them,
for there Is no art or science too diff
cult for industry to attain. "Sloth
makes all things difficult, but industry
all easy" Industry qualities us in all
our various classes for the highest and
lowest employments; 1t inspires us
with fresh vigor in the performance of
our social and religious duties. and it
gives wider scope for the display of
our talents. The habit of constant USE
full occupation is as essential for the
happiness and well-being of women as
of men. The happiness of the body
lies in health, that of the mind in
knowledge. Without occupation,
women are apt to sink into state OF
listless ennui and uselessness, accom-
panied by sick headache and attacks OF
,'ncryes."

One of the men had his arm Ia o sling,
and this, with the fact that it was said
they had been seen to come from the
Jersey shore In boat, shat was rowed
away by another man, strengthened the
suspicion that they belonged to the
gang. Police officers were immetl lately
detailed to guard every approach 70 this
city, while others went In search of the
men. About O'Clock yesterda ay morn

matter of arranging household ma

scribing the various idiosyncrasies Of

house servant, who, though OF most
exemplary department in every other

her: Hannah, why don't you take

some advantage of the opportunity to
